Extractions: American Stacy Dragila made Olympic history on Monday as she won the first women's pole vault gold. Dragila, the world record holder, cleared 4.60 metres to beat Australia's Russian-born Tatiana Grigorieva into second place. The 29-year-old Californian set a new world's best at the US trials in July of 4.63m, but her efforts to raise that mark by a further two centimetres failed. Afterwards she said: "Winning and making history. I don't think there's anything better. I was an average athlete when I took up the pole vault seven years ago. To go on the Olympic stage is a dream come true." Dragila has a habit of winning inaugural events having won the first women's world indoor title in 1997 and the first outdoor title in 1999.

Extractions: TUESDAY 7/23/96 It's been 10 years since the distinction between "amateur" and "professional" was deleted from the Olympic charter and what has it bought us? Many argue that the advent of professionalism has devalued the Olympic spirit envisioned by the modern event's originator, France's Pierre de Coubertin. De Coubertin believed the modern Olympics should be a pristine, apolitical arena where "amateur" athletes indulge in pure competition and rejoice in the heights of human achievement. The Olympic mystique suggested that anyone could be a contender. Ordinary people dreamed of competing in the Olympics, and the dreams spurred athletic activity all over the world. Now that has changed... Olympic athletes have sponsors, expensive equipment, and the luxury of training full time. Money has changed the look and feel of the Olympics in the second half of the 20th century. July 17, 1996:

Extractions: Have you watched the Olympics on TV or better yet been there to experience it live? Did you ever wondered why the Olympics started? I did! If you want to be on or go to the Olympics, I think you first need to know about it. Why did the games start? At the original Olympics what games did they play? Also what games do they play today? Now, get ready for the world of the Olympics. Have you ever wondered how the Olympics started? In Olympia, Greece the Olympic Games were held every four years. First Olympic game was recorded in 776 BC; that was about 3,000 years ago. At that time this great festival took place to honor the Greek gods. Olympics were held during the great festival. My resources say Olympics were held to please the various gods. One God, in particular, the most important was called Zeus. The Olympics were called Olympiad in Greece. Now we know where the games are held, but we dont know what games they played? In the first thirteen Olympic games, there was only one event and that was the sprint. The sprint event was about one hundred and eight meters in length. Then later Pentathlon was added and it had different events. There was discus, javelin, jumping, running, and wrestling. After a while, they added Equestrian events and that included chariot racing and riding. The Ancient Olympics did have lots of events. They had two major events Equestrian and Pentathlon events.

Extractions: A game of field hockey in progress Field hockey is a popular Olympic sport in many countries around the world, with India Pakistan Germany The Netherlands and Australia the most successful international teams. It is popular for both men and women in these countries. In these countries, where (with the exception of Germany) ice hockey is not common, it is generally referred to simply as "hockey". In the United States it is widely regarded as a women's sport, but there are men's leagues as well, mostly on a collegiate level. Table of contents 1 Origins edit Though the name hockey,from the French word hoquet ,dates to the 18th century,sports of the general type have existed for thousands of years in many cultures. Modern field hockey was born with the formation of The Hockey Association in England on January 18 . The current governing body of the global game is the Fédération Internationale de Hockey (International Hockey Federation or FIH). edit Larger Diagram The game is played between two teams of eleven players on a 91.4 x 54.8 metre (100 x 60 yard) rectangular field. Most modern fields are covered with "synthetic grass" - a smooth, carpet-like material, but the game was traditionally played on live grass. At each end there is a goal approximately 2.1 metres high, and 3.7 metres wide, and a semi-circle approximately 16 metres from the goal known as the "arc",or "shooting circle", with a dotted line one meter from the semi-circle, as well as lines across the field approximately 24 metres from each end-line and in the centre of the field.
